Fire outbreak at Murtala Mohammed International Airport

On Thursday morning, an electrical fire was reported at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

The fire emanated from some cables, which apparently melted under heat.

This led to a blackout in the airport terminal while fire fighters deployed swiftly in the affected area to quench the fire.

Security men erected a metal barricade around the site and the fire fighters were able to put the situation under control.
